BOOK BLURB:
Ethan and Cam met the year before at an underground BDSM club and their connection was intense and immediate. There was just one small problem ~ they're both subs. To work around this, they agree to find their own Doms for play, engaging in hot scenes complete with whips and chains, but leaving their hearts at home.

The setup works fine, until the day a hot Dom named Maestro enters the picture. For the first time, Ethan finds himself keeping secrets.

Maestro has secrets of his own. Unrequited passion and sizzling hot D/s lead to the three agreeing to a play scene that ends up ensnaring them all in something more powerful than any of them had dreamed of. Can two subs submit to a man who would claim not only their bodies, but their hearts and minds? Or will the intensity of a D/s ménage break their world apart.

BOOK REVIEW:
Claire Thompson has a knack for catching you up with her first few sentences:

"Andrew Townsend stood in the shadows, watching. The man tethered spread eagle to the rack was wearing nothing but a codpiece. Positioned as he was, facing the rack, he appeared naked save for the thin belt of black leather over his narrow hips. The globes of his ass were well-defined, solid muscle, the indentations below either hip just begging to be gripped while a thick, hard cock was eased inside him."

What does this tell you? Well, for one thing, if you like explicit, hotly erotic BDSM novels, this is your story. But the best part about any Claire Thompson book is that she always has an interesting, unpredictable plot and engaging characters to go with the hot sex. That's what makes this book a must-read.

Ethan Wise and Cameron McNamee are an oddity: two subs in a committed relationship. They met in a BDSM club and were immediately attracted, gradually fell in love, and are determined that they are not going to do anything to endanger their relationship. They are both into the D/s scene, but the problem is that they both fall on the submissive side of the scale. They love sex with each other, but each has a deep-seated need for a Dominant, so they go out ~ separately ~ and play.

On one of Ethan's play nights, Andrew Townsend spots him. The two men have a history, and not a pleasant one. In high school, Andrew (who was out and nerdy) had a huge crush on Ethan (who was still firmly in the closet and fucking his way through the cheerleading squad). Andrew is stunned to find this man who has been his fantasy for so long is not only gay but is a sub as well. Imagine his disappointment when Ethan is willing to play but is upfront about being in a committed relationship. Andrew becomes almost obsessed with establishing a relationship with Ethan, even if it means breaking him up with Cam.

Then he meets Cam.

Could Andrew be the Dom both Ethan and Cam need? How are they going to work through the obvious difficulties of an intense D/s menage? This makes it sound like it might be a predictable plot, but it absolutely is not. Jealousy and possessiveness rear their ugly heads. Ethan and Cam have hard decisions to make if they are to put their relationship first. Andrew has to let go of his high-school crush on Ethan for a more adult attitude. And all three men have to, as it says in the book, make a triangle relationship into a circle.

You could read this book for the exquisitely erotic sex, but trust me, you'll be caught up in the plot as well. That's why I highly recommend this book.
